Practice

Vietnam Desk

Clients rely on our Vietnam Desk for clear, practical legal advice backed by strong local knowledge and regional experience.

Practical Counsel for Growth in Vietnam

Our dedicated Vietnam Desk serves as a vital bridge for local and international clients seeking to enter, operate, and grow in Vietnam’s dynamic market.

As one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing economies and an integral part of regional trade agreements, Vietnam plays a strategic role within ASEAN. Bringing together on-the-ground knowledge with the regional expertise of our Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia-based lawyers, we provide commercially practical legal solutions tailored to clients’ cross-border business needs.

We provide a full range of corporate and regulatory advice, including business establishment and licensing, foreign direct investment, corporate governance, regulatory approvals, M&A transactions, and employment law. Staying up-to-date with Vietnam’s evolving laws, we deliver strategic, practical advice that enables clients to capitalise on the country’s business-friendly reforms.

Our regional advantage

Our Vietnam Desk is managed by Paul Papon Charoenpao, who focuses on corporate M&A, FinTech, tax, and funds/private equity/venture capital. The team includes lawyers admitted to the Vietnam Bar, as well as foreign-qualified lawyers with extensive experience in cross-border transactions.

Our team is fluent in both English and Vietnamese, ensuring seamless communication and an in-depth understanding of local legal, business, and cultural nuances.
